Common questions from Maresfield clients
Is Maresfield off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Uckfield station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. Buildings are scheduled in turn with dates agreed in advance.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
How we handle mastic sealing in Maresfield
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, communal kitchens and washrooms and balcony and threshold joints, and what we’re called in for most is water getting in round frames after rain and complaints coming in block by block. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Maresfield from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
For owners with a single building near Maresfield, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Send photos of the frames and joints and we’ll give a fixed quote.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Block-wide mastic in Maresfield
Rainfall across the South East, Maresfield included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are usually where frame mastic ages first. Maresfield is about 36 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as The Parish Church of St Bartholomew are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. Buildings close to stations like Uckfield station (2 miles south of Maresfield) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
Maresfield is about 2 miles north of Uckfield, in East Sussex. Our applicators travel to Maresfield for work on mastic joints. Across East Sussex, 308 places are covered, including Maresfield. Brighton is covered too, around 15 miles from Maresfield.

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Maresfield
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort and the windows usually get the blame. In many cases, new perimeter sealant deals with it where the frames themselves are sound. Converted and older buildings near places like Maresfield tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.

What we are called out for in Maresfield
Buildings move with temperature and moisture, and every joint has to stretch and squeeze with them. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits long before it should.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
For owners of several units at places like Ashdown Business Park (less than half a mile south-west of Maresfield), one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.
What to look for in a quote
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- How joint depth will be controlled
Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. A programme can start with the worst buildings so spending is spread.
Work for main contractors and building owners
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
